Robust object recognition is a crucial ingredient of many, if not all,
real-world robotics applications. This paper leverages recent progress on
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and proposes a novel RGB-D architecture
for object recognition. Our architecture is composed of two separate CNN
processing streams - one for each modality - which are consecutively combined
with a late fusion network. We focus on learning with imperfect sensor data, a
typical problem in real-world robotics tasks. For accurate learning, we
introduce a multi-stage training methodology and two crucial ingredients for
handling depth data with CNNs. The first, an effective encoding of depth
information for CNNs that enables learning without the need for large depth
datasets. The second, a data augmentation scheme for robust learning with depth
images by corrupting them with realistic noise patterns. We present
state-of-the-art results on the RGB-D object dataset and show recognition in
challenging RGB-D real-world noisy settings.

使用卷积神经网络，采用 RGB-D 架构，通过两个不同模式的 CNN 处理流程结合延迟融合网络来识别物体，同时引入多阶段训练方法以及进行数据增强方案，使得处理 RGB-D 图像更加健壮，同时在真实嘈杂环境中取得了最先进的识别结果。
